Intended Use
The Inquiry™ AFocusII™ Diagnostic Catheter is a steerable electrophysiology catheter used for recording intracardiac signals and cardiac stimulation during diagnostic electrophysiological studies. The Inquiry™ AFocusII™ Diagnostic Catheters are to be used to map the atrial regions of the heart.
Device Description
The Inquiry™ AFocusII™ Diagnostic Catheter is a flexible, radiopaque catheter with a variable number of electrodes with the first electrode located at the distal tip and the other band electrodes following at predetermined distances. A connecting cable is used to connect the catheter to electrogram devices. The catheter has a distal double loop in a plane perpendicular to the catheter body. The circumferential shape or loop allows the electrophysiologist to record the potentials of cardiac structures without changing the position of the catheter. The catheter shaft is steerable by manipulating the handle. The placement of the electrodes around the entire circumference of the distal loop also assists the electrophysiologist during fluoroscopy with visualization. The distal loop shape is easily straightened with the thumb and forefinger to facilitate insertion into sheaths and introducers. Once the catheter is extended beyond the sheath, the catheter resumes its pre-formed shape. The device is supplied sterile and is intended for single use only.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description focuses on the physical design and function of a diagnostic catheter for recording electrical signals, with no mention of AI or ML for data analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is described as a "Diagnostic Catheter" used for "recording intracardiac signals and cardiac stimulation during diagnostic electrophysiological studies" and to "map the atrial regions of the heart", indicating a diagnostic purpose rather than therapeutic.

Yes
The first sentence of the "Intended Use / Indications for Use" section explicitly states "The Inquiry™ AFocusII™ Diagnostic Catheter is a steerable electrophysiology catheter used for recording intracardiac signals and cardiac stimulation during diagnostic electrophysiological studies." The term "diagnostic" is directly used.

No

The device description clearly details a physical catheter with electrodes, a connecting cable, and a steerable handle, indicating it is a hardware device, not software-only.

Based on the provided information, the Inquiry™ AFocusII™ Diagnostic Catheter is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.

Here's why:

  • Intended Use: The intended use is for "recording intracardiac signals and cardiac stimulation during diagnostic electrophysiological studies" and to "map the atrial regions of the heart." This involves direct interaction with the patient's body (intracardiac) to gather electrical signals.
  • Device Description: The description details a catheter that is inserted into the body and has electrodes to record signals from within the heart.
  • Lack of In Vitro Activity: IVD devices are designed to examine specimens (like blood, urine, tissue) outside of the body to provide information about a patient's health. This device operates inside the body.

Therefore, the Inquiry™ AFocusII™ Diagnostic Catheter is an in vivo diagnostic device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

§ 870.1220 Electrode recording catheter or electrode recording probe.

(a)
Identification. An electrode recording catheter or an electrode recording probe is a device used to detect an intracardiac electrocardiogram, or to detect cardiac output or left-to-right heart shunts. The device may be unipolar or multipolar for electrocardiogram detection, or may be a platinum-tipped catheter which senses the presence of a special indicator for cardiac output or left-to-right heart shunt determinations.(b)
Classification. Class II (performance standards).
